Wink Mr. Bruno May Get a Call...

...from Arenanet.

Or maybe not but it's only proper I mention this part of my post in the Guild Wars 2 beta forum about my qualms/suggestions for GW2:

Quote:
- Camera Bounce/Camera Concussion. I cannot figure out this design, especially when there are indoor areas: when the avatar walks and/or when the camera is positioned behind a solid object (wall, tree, cliff), it smacks into the back of the avatar’s head. GW has this problem; cartography can make one sea-sick but GW didn’t have indoor areas to exacerbate the problem. I can’t see a fracking thing indoors. Play Titan Quest and see how the camera flows nicely as obscura fades to translucence when needed. “Cameras” should facilitate the player’s viewing, not impede it. Please change this; call Arthur Bruno if need be.
So many games don't handle the view like TQ did and I'm stupefied as to why.

Thats awesome, when people who are playing another game, tell a company to refer to a competitor to fix one of their existing problems.

"Camera Bounce/Camera Concussion"

I like the term "camera concussion". I'ma stealin' that gem.
And I have to say, if you like the TQ camera, you're going to be all hibbity-jibbity over the rotational camera in GD.
That's not a humble-brag. That's a braggy-brag.

(I may have had too much coffee this morning.)

Its a good phrase, but who gets the concussion, the "avatar" (weird, I prefer toon) or the camera man?

The avatar, from constantly being slammed in the head with the camera. 50 feet! 1 inch! 50 feet! 1 inch!

...STOP RUNNING UNDER BRIDGES!!!

The cameraman gets whiplash...
